What is recorded here
Castle Street in Glasgow still carries the ghost of a cross, though no exact date or visible stone survives in the public record. The name suggests a boundary marker, a religious symbol or a civic warning that people once read at a glance. Forgive the absence of a picture or exact coordinates. The street itself remains the evidence, preserving the shape of a lost landmark through the patience of its name.
